I have been annoyingly tired this last week. Friday for instants I got up at 5am, did some chores, Mr S went to work at 8, I took a cup of tea with me as usual to sit and have a read, The Princess snuggled in under my chin and The Dog by my side; next thing I knew the phone was ringing… And it was Mr S seeing if I was ok as he hadn’t heard from me at all – it was now 2pm!
What a waste of a sunny day.
I managed to squeeze in some more spring cleaning, I defrosted and cleaned the freezer and fridge, tidied the under stairs cupboard, did washing and made huge amounts of mac & cheese for dinner and some to be frozen.

Saturday was an emotional day, selfishly self caused.
There are days when you just can’t help feeling something, news hits a chord and triggers a gut reaction.

Sunday Mr S did a 5k race with my brother & my brothers Friend.
The dog spent a lovely day with my Father in the garden chopping wood and chasing birds in their garden.
I visited the Grandparents and in the evening we all had a Mamma Cooked roast.

Unfortunately Sunday The Parrot cat came home with another paw injury, bloody and hobbling.
Today we had to take poor Parrot cat to the vets, he has antibiotics and pain killers again.

For dinner tonight I cooked a recipe recommend by L from a Slimming World recipe book. Chicken and Sweetcorn Soup it was very tasty indeed. Slimming world recipes are amazingly yummy whether your on a diet or not!

(In the book it uses Spring Onions not Peas. Peas and Rice Noodles were my throw in extras- I also made up my own way of doing it a bit different to the book)

Place the chicken breasts into the sauce pan with the stock (I added a pinch of pepper too) and slowly bring to the boil. Simmering for 20 minutes and it says removing any scum from the surface but neither L or I could see scum ??

Remove chicken breasts and shred return to pan.

Add the creamed sweet corn & peas.

Mix cornflower and the 2tbsp of water into a smooth paste, then add to the pan, stirring to thicken.

Remove from heat and slowly drizzle in a beaten egg stirring constantly.

Add the rice noodles. (I pre-cooked the rice noodles before adding)

Serve and add dark soya sauce to garnish.

Very easy and tasty meal, would recommend. Thanks L.

While doing the dinner The Dog sat enjoying the sun guarding the back door.

Currently I’m ignoring the ironing pile and ironing a shirt a night for Mr S, I could be here till Christmas!
